Sure, but I think the point is that the fundies are missing that Austen is skewering aspects of her *own* society that they think are good, regardless of what she might or might not think of the 21st century if you dropped her in it.

Mind you, they're also missing the fact that she'd be fucking appalled by the way conservative evangelicals have decided that remarriage after divorce isn't an issue...

Yeah, Thats what I mean. If Jane Austen could see the Christian fundamentalists today, she would probably find their /liberalism/ far too degenerate. the secret maker is right that she would probably be disgusted by them, but not for the reason the secret maker thinks.

Any loathing she would feel for the Christians, would be the mouse's share of loathing compared to what she would think of people who, for example, support gay marriage or trans people.

And I'm not shitting on Ms Austen, She was a product of the time she was born in and was as liberal as she was BECAUSE of that time... but that is still quite a ways behind how liberal even the most stuffy Christian fundie is today.
