Black feminist methodologies are non-taxonomic, meaning they do not fit neatly into conventional categories. Since there is no clear solution to the "problem" people are more likely to overlook things they cannot define. In life, there is a tendency for individuals to categorize things and place people and circumstances into boxes.
