I don't see the issue with calling them basic chick flicks then, as they are rom coms and that is like, the majority of chick flicks

That seems like a massive over-simplification, but okay.

DA
Not really. For the time they were written in, and compared to other books from that time, they are kinda that.

Well done for being utterly patronising and dismissive of a woman who achieved an incredible literary legacy for her time despite her entire society also patronising and dismissing her. Yay for you, I guess.

I mean, that's entirely your own interpretation and you're doing it in such bad faith that I don't even know what to tell you.
The main issue here is that you yourself look down on an entire genre so much that the merest hint of connection to that genre means, in your eyes, that someone patronises or dismisses an author writing in that genre. I think you should probably examine your own sexist prejudices for that genre and why you loathe it so much.

Nope, your assumptions are all wrong. And there is DEFINITELY a tone people are using with the connections they're making. Have you been hiding under a rock? People have been shitting on chick flicks forever. Austen's work doesn't come under that umbrella, but it's clear people are using those negative connections to dismiss her achievements.
