They can, and many do- but they're constantly inundated with social and political messaging about how awful it is to be a woman, and how everything that happens hurts women, and even if it hurts men too, it hurts women MORE. They're further told that being female means they're weak and helpless, and unable to solve their own problems- so they aren't expected to, while men ARE.
The kind of self-reflection required to see your own intellectual dishonesty is not easy, and it's not common- and it's rarer among women than men. The more communal social attitudes women have also mean the social backlash for going against the zeitgeist is horrific- it takes GREAT courage to face that down willingly.
Not helping matters is that most women don't really know what men go through that they don't. As Warren Farrell put it so aptly, women can't hear what men don't say. This isn't the kind of problem that will be solved with vast social movements, but one person at a time.
For the same reason we can't empathize over theirs. Because it's hard to truly empathize with someone's struggle where you haven't faced it. Yes, you can logically think about them and feel them but most people will not do that cause it's hard.
They’re obsessed with their own struggle and pain (to be fair we do have our own) and have a bad image of men in general, thinking that it’s easier for men, that they have no heart or feelings etc
I don't think that's true. I always listen to my boyfriend

u My partner always does so not sure about that one u sure you not just looking for it online finding none
because feminism has taught women to embrace their inner toxic masculinity
Women generally do not empathize.
Sounds an awful lot like what men do to us. Oh the irony is astonishing.
In order to have empathy, you must first go through a struggle. You can have sympathy and say this situation sucks but empathy is gained by those who have gone though your experience.
Because in their minds, acknowledging men's struggles threatens women's victim status.
Because they are secretly happy that men suffer.
because most are narcassisstic and want to be the center of attention
Why do you expect them to?
and what struggles do we have?
I think this works both ways
