I oddly don't remember the Calum or Chloe/Jedward moments you're mentioning, but I'll go along with them, and I'll add in an example of my own: Marnie showing her breasts right in front of Saira's face last year. All three are rude and disgusting to do, yes, but there's never been an instance were a man has been ejected for doing the same thing.
Has a man got ejected for rubbing his ass on someone? No. Has a man got ejected for flashing his chest in front of someone else? No.
I would agree fully that it is double standards if a man got ejected for doing the same things a woman has that didn't get ejected, but that hasn't happened yet. For example, a woman's never flashed or grinded her vagina onto someone else, which is why a woman's never been ejected for sexual assault.
Watching the Jasmine and Calum seen back, which was uncomfortable to watch (and Calum seemed very uncomfortable at the same time), my only possible reason as to why Jasmine wasn't ejected was because Calum didn't react, unlike Chloe in CBB15. If Calum reacted, then no doubt Jasmine would've gotten into ****, and I'm sure if Chloe didn't react to Jeremy opening her robe, Jeremy wouldn't have been ejected. Jeremy was probably removed because Chloe would've obviously felt very uneasy being around him rather than the fact he sexually assaulted her, if Jasmine remaining in the house after doing a similar thing to Calum is to go by.
That said, double standards do exist, and I'm not saying men aren't victims of sexual assault - at all. Just that there's never been a situation that parallels between two sexes on BB which suggest there is a double standard. Plus, I don't really see how double standards against men is an argument to be made here. This was clearly sexual harrassment, and if the roles were reversed, it still would be, even if people disagreed. But rather than making an issue over something hypothetical, e.g. "people wouldn't class it as sexual harassment if it was the other way around" (spoiler alert: many would), let's focus on the real issue that people truly believe she was 'asking for it' by dressing in a bikini

I'm going to get grief now as I never watched all of any of these BB but I read about them and still saw enough online
.
I know that guy seemed to have a mad crush on Joel but I got the impression the dude was drunk AF ??
, it sounds disrespectful what he did and I'm not making excuses but alcohol does play a big part .
The Baywatch one was hard to prove as it happened in the bathroom away from the cameras
, I'm not doubting he wasn't being creepy but we DIDN'T see it and again alcohol played a part in it clearly , and was her reaction justified? Who knows maybe but we didn't see how touchy feely he was .
Callum and Jasmine have a history clearly but I still find it wrong when she randomly touching and grabbing him , and he didn't help to change his Playboy image sadly because even though he was uncomfortable he said nothing and even joked about it
.
But if he told her to stop I still don't think there would of been repercussions , unless they had a huge argument and I bet she'd still only get a warning
.
Chloe with jedward , apparently he was very uncomfortable (don't know which twin it was) and she found it funny , and she only got a warning but I still think if a man rubbed his bum on a woman his time in BB would possibly come to an end or it would be treated as sexual harassment.
Your argument about the bikini also works for a man as well though, the way someone dresses doesn't give the green light to be groped , absolutely agree .
But men in shorts or topless Butler outfits sometimes attract horny people who can't keep their hands to themselves and it's considered funny as they think it's welcomed, when really most men don't know how to react or they're embarrassed and don't say anything
