I don't think the two PoVs are incompatible. Lower tolerance for mess drives people to clean earlier and more proactively. The labor equity issue is a direct consequence of differences in taste. There are lots of group dynamics that work this way - not just domestic labor. The real question is: what can you do about it? My claim is that "I have a problem with your mess" is a better starting point than "you have a problem with mess." Some parts of the article get this, and others don't.
