The ITC report also clearly states that for such a complaint to be acceptable, it has to be from the person whom received such comments.

As for your example, I can think of many many times when on TV, breast size is referred to...

I do like it when men try to claim sexism. It's fine for men to dish it out, but not receive it then?

Ahhh, isn't it amusing when the boot is on the other foot? Men seem to feel... disturbed and scared, for some reason, that women have the ability to claim sexism.

At the end of the day, as the ITC report also states...

However, the ITC believed that people who submit themselves for inclusion in a show like Big Brother (now in its fourth series) where participants are filmed 24 hours a day, should be aware of the potential for personal references of this kind.

Further, they stated:

There had been no breach of the ITC Programme Code

Which means there was no sexism, a statement was made based upon something that happened in the house. End of story.
