Not even the cities? OP appears to be describing the slums of Buenos Aires.

whatever douchebag she unwisely ends up tying herself to
Are you referring to a man who's only interested in casual sex with her or a man who's open to marrying her but then turns out to be some useless lazy bum?

If your argument is that eligible men that are prone to reward it are out there but are fewer in number than in earlier times for various reasons, I agree with you. However, if it is that female agreeableness has somehow lost its value even among men that are open to marriage because times have changed, then I disagree. And I think that female agreeableness is generally as rewarded by parents and children as ever.
If we’re specifically discussing the scenario where an ambitious young middle-class or upper-class woman wants to have a fancy career and get dream promotions, then her agreeableness will indeed be punished.
Bringing up Japan is pretty much moving the goalposts in this case.
