Jake assumed a feminist identity.

Explanation:

Jake realizes that his friend's comments are sexist, sexist and wrong comments. He feels that these comments take away a woman's respect and consideration and he believes the comments are inappropriate and perjorative to the woman who has the right to leave her body the way she prefers. Jake took on a feminist personality where he defended women's rights and scolded inappropriate comments to her because he believes women should not be treated that way.
