Why feminism?

So I've been doing a lot of thinking about feminism as I do often and I began wondering "how did feminism get to the way it is now? What could have been done to prevent it?" And I have a theory and idk if it's right it's just a thought: women began to get bitter and resentful of their traditional roles in society. They felt unappreciated, not valued, and were made to feel like their place in the world was worthless. On top of that, they have felt afraid of being under the power of a man because men would often abuse that power. So women have developed a bitterness, over defensiveness and envy of men.

There's another part of this coin though.

What about men? I wonder if they felt like their traditional role as a money maker was degrading. Or if the huge liability and responsibility of being in authority proved to be intimidating to men. Have men ever resented their role as money makers and managers of the household? Back then and still today, a man was only worth as much as he made. If a man had no money, he was considered unworthy to marry or even live. If a man didn't treat women basically as queens, he was scum. If anything went wrong in his family, it was his fault. So the question I have is this: if men and women both had equal amounts of things to complain about, why was there only a women's movement? Why didn't men protest the injustices placed on them? Why don't they now?
