I feel like the dynamics are way too fuzzy to point at one group of people an say "this is the cause of outrage culture, and that is the dominate driver of unexpected inequality flux". The US has a host of initial conditions (heterogeneous population, very young age, combination of high overall wealth as well as extreme wealth inequality) that makes it very difficult to compare apples to apples with much of the world.
It appears that there are only ~2.5k genders studies majors matriculating at any given year [1]. I doubt that's pushing the needle appreciably in terms identity politics. IMO I'd look more too the cognitive dissonance between the gap in achievement of the wealthy vs poor and the taboo in talking about any sort of income inequality in this country as a more potent driver to the under-directed efforts to impose a slanted "equality" in the name of social good.
