What people want to compromise is up to them. Traditionally, "compromise" was that the woman was "allowed to work" as long as she took care of the family and all the domestic chores first. She was the one having to balance it all and having to choose because "you can't have it all". For some women, that didn't worked and find it unfair. Which lead to unhappy marriages. Well, unhappy for the women. So when they finaly asked for divorce, the men couldn't even understand what was wrong since from his perspective "everything was good".

Now some people are honest with themselves and decide to not compromise on things that would make them resentful with their partners. Sure, that means that maybe you'll end single. But it is still better than compromising on something that you shouldn't.

That doesn't mean that men won't be able to find traditional woves anymore. Some women want that. But asking a woman who doesn't want that to compromise leads to one or two people being bitter with each other.

I'm mean, women are usually expected to compromise on everything. We are used to that. If a woman is not already compromising, is because what is offered in exchange won't do it for her.
