lol, this was obviously posted by a woman who wants other women to throw themselves under a bus.
The claim is that women can help themselves by simultaneously failing to acknowledge a boss's power, while also making the female assistant feel awkward.
It is rather similar to the joke about how you can walk into an army base and gain authority by referring to every private as captain: all you will do is single yourself out as someone who doesn't understand how things work around here.
If I was the female CEO of a company and I had a male assistant, and another male employee treated my assistant as equal to myself because of solidarity something something, I would stomp them both into the ground. Don't expect to be treated differently just because the sexes happen to reverse.
