I'm not sure I'd call it anti-feminist -- Marianne's perspective and priorities aren't devalued because she's female. A male with similar romanticism would be treated similarly.

But it does devalue Marianne's perspective and priorities. My sister dislikes S&S because, she says, it's all about how Sense is best and it's bad making emotional decisions.

Marianne's decisions were wholly emotional, though, and that is bad. She behaved with no thought of her safety and reputation, or her family's reputation. That doesn't sound like a big deal to a modern audience, but at the time Marianne's ruined reputation could've easily made her family into social outcasts (a bad idea when they're relying upon the generosity of a distant cousin for their home) and her sisters would've found it that much harder to make decent marriages-- the only way for them to ensure their futures.

ayrt

I'm not saying I agreed. Just that I can see why it would bother OP. (Abandon your hopes and dreams and CONFORM!)

Yes, but her ending is quite the opposite.There isn't balance of sense and sensibility, it's all sense: he's rich, he never harmed her, everyone wants her to marry him, but it's not something she wanted.
Even Elinor the sensible one had actual, genuine feelings for Edward.
