While the disparity between men's and women's perceptions is worth mentioning, I'd read that study as saying, primarily, that both men's and women's perceptions about the housework are pretty accurate, on average (the men thought they did 42%.)

You know, the space between 'make busy' and working.
Would like to see which group is better at hitting the 'boss key' when they were paged by the researcher... yeah, yeah, I'm cleaning. Honest.
