Admit One

[VaeVictis]

As I stated before, the member of an opressive group has no right to claim what the oppressed should feel. As a male in the gaming community, you aren't likely to experience the harassament the female gamer has. Threats of rape, violence, humiliating inferences about their sex life (or lack thereof), and their general worthiness to be called a 'gamer' is something even I can attest to, something my male friends never seem to get.
It's not a consipracy, it's simple fact. As a male, you don't have the first hand experience. Just as a white person in America, I have no right to belittle the experiences of a person of color, so you do not have the right to tell a female what her experiences 'probably' are/were.

TL;DR: Check yo privilege.

If what you say stands wouldn't it really suck if I had an opinion on the entire matter, but am not taken seriously just because I'm from the "oppressive" group?

If you have valid claims, those claims shouldn't be any less valid whether, or not which "side" (*Shudders at the thought*) you're from.

It's not that you can't have an opinion, but it's just not going to hold as much weight since you have male privilege. NOTE: 'Privilege' does NOT mean your life is easy, it just means that, because of whatever trait, you can worry less about certain things (racial profiling, sexual harassment, etc...).
