What you said more or less makes the most sense.

“You see that one of the Mitzvos of a woman are Niddah, I highly doubt this special mitzvah would be given to woman if they were just the “victims” of men having to get married.”

If I remember correctly the Gemara says the purpose of Niddah is something along the lines of so that the husband wont become bored (I cant think of a better word at the moment but its something like complacent) and that after her being a Niddah their intimacy will have the freshness like it was on their first night together. So Niddah is primarily for the mans benefit but women obviously benefit from this as well.
