I feel bad for the victims of his objectification, and I feel bad for the guy because he lost his job for not knowing any better. Sexual harassment sucks, just like coping with loneliness when you don't know how to properly express yourself sucks. It sucks all around.
What a poorly constructed comparison. It would read better like this: So anyone commenting on what it's like to be sexually harassed should actually have been sexually harassed?

Now, on to your main point. Displaced was commenting on the validity of opinions, not the right to have them. Maybe it "sucks all around", but there's still a victim here, and a predator.
