As scientific taxonomy has often been a historic justification and taxonomy really is just a social construct itself (and often terribly inaccurate, see the problem of defining species for example) it's pretty easy to see why it seems like a good place to tackle the issue. I don't think we can pretend that science is some pure place that exists in a vacuum apart from society.
