Schlafly believed that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) would harm women. As she wrote, "Why should we lower ourselves to 'equal rights' when we already have the status of special privilege?" She thought that the passage of the ERA would make women subject to harsh realities that men have to face, such as the draft. In addition, she thought that the ERA would get rid of a women's right to alimony and child support and would instead establish a woman's right to these supports based only on her income. As the law stood in 1972 when she wrote this document, a man was always required to support his wife and children. Schlafly felt the ERA would interfere with these provisions and would instead force a woman to find a job to support her family. She also believed that the ERA could interfere with the custom by which women are always awarded custody of their children in the case of divorce. Finally, Shlafly felt that women's "libbers," as she calls them, were "radicals" who were damaging the family and women's traditional roles within it. She supported women's acquisition of equal pay and equal job and educational opportunities through what she calls "any necessary legislation," but not the ERA.
As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
