The typical man and typical woman have not had the same experiences, because ① they grow up in different bodies, and ② society treats people differently in various ways based on their gender. (Conservatives and feminists should agree on this latter as a matter of fact, although they may assign different values to that fact. Some feminists may think it is bad, and some conservatives may think it is good, but both should agree that it happens.)
Two paths through the same territory do not yield the same map. We should expect that people who have had different experiences will be in possession of different shards of the truth.

Well, of course not.

Care to expand on that? AIUI, most domain experts (i.e. folks who care about social interaction, broadly defined) would disagree.
Where did you get that idea?
