Summary:
"The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons.

From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed" --
