Kaho, Mafuyu, Mio accuse Dino of sexual harassment because he asked what swimsuits they had in THEIR POSSESSION. Considering the way he is, they assume he's just using this as an excuse to get them in swimsuits. The three of them know about female perversion, and likely wouldn't give Maika slack for asking. Everyone except Maika views Dino as a pervert solely by his lust towards Maika. I assume this is the sole justification for why they thought Dino was forcing Maika to do his bidding via the lap incident. I still think they went too far with calling the police, but again this is likely personality-based (but more on this later), not gender-based.
I'd say the stuff about perverts is zig-zagged. Mafuyu gives no real slack when Kaho and Mio do/say seemingly perverted things. (She gives the latter the dirty look after she says she can mingle with highschool girls now, and touches the former inappropriately after assuming she's reading a perverted book) When the perversion turns out to be a misunderstanding, she immediately apologizes (although in the case of the Dino lap incident it was likely done off screen) and stops doing what she's doing. The scene where Akizuki is seemingly more comfortable with touching Dino's breasts is a same-sex double standard. (though for one he's only scared of being beaten up by Kaho due to his assumption she will go in-act tsundere on him (though this is a misunderstanding, as Kaho is unaware of this aspect of tsunderes; Akizuki sees Dino as cowardly (and he kind of is to be honest) and unwillingly to really fight back) and this is a double standard that Kaho is irritated by)
This is only really seen with Dino though. The customers can be perverted as they wish and suffer no consequences, and Akizuki does multiple cases of perverted/violent acts and gets away with it. And very notably Maika gives Aika no slack either (yelling at her for a misunderstanding at the cafe; and giving her equal punishments along with Maika's brother for harassing Dino). Its made clear that Kaho and Mafuyu don't think that All Men Are Perverts, as they're aware that the customers, Akizuki, and Dino are EXCEPTIONS to the rule. Mafuyu treats her brothers with respect, Maika's brother is treated well (only reason he didn't get invited to visit the cafe is because he didn't know about it and wasn't even around to hear about it (hence why he stalks around to check where his sisters went, as he assumes that they went together to the cafe); it's not really implied if he got punished for stalking either (this isn't a double standard either, by the way, Akizuki and Hideri stalk Dino and Maika in addition to the others during episode 12)), and Kaho wasn't really paying attention to the people watching her play the drumming game (she likely thinks that they watch her for her performance alone; and she doesn't really see a pattern of the look of the people who visit Cafe Stile).
The way misunderstandings are handled here (something egregious happens, OOPS turns it out it wasn't what it looked what/it went too far, apology of some sort happens, on-screen or otherwise) generally avoids a lot of potential double standards. When the cast feels something goes too far, they call it out and it generally stops. They aren't psychopaths or sociopaths. (except Mafuyu when she dresses people up, probably) I'm not saying any unfortunate implications are brought up (Akizuki and Mafuyu getting away with violence, for example), but its not really to the level that the article makes it out to be. Perhaps the manga makes a lot of my assumptions wrong. But I haven't read it so yeah.
