Just a showerthought: For many animals and also for a long time for humans, aggression from "incels" was directed against other males of their species.
Maybe the reason for the aggression was that you thought that these more successful men were like you, but unfairly treated better, so you are jealous, hate them and direct your aggression against them.
Feminism has caused people to see humans not primarily as men and women, but as male and female humans. This means that men more easily compare themselves against women and thus discover that women are the ones who have it easiest, so they develop jealousy and aggression against them. This could even partially explain the use of the term "females" to define the outgroup - suddenly you use an adjective instead of a noun. So in fact, despite it being seen as a derogatory term, I believe that got only so big because both man and women being humans is so ingrained in our brains.
