People only have authority over you if you voluntarily give it to them (but then it's not really authority anymore. It's just voluntary servitude). Otherwise all they have is brute strength. They may be able to crush you, but the don't have the authority to do so.
Authority is like Santa Clause or the Emperor's invisible clothes. It's real only to those who believe in it (or choose to willfully pretend that it's real).
Calling out the very concept of authority as shared delusion is seen as "shocking" and heretical by the self-deluded mass of sheep who can't imagine not having someone rule over them.
Bowing to or saluting ANY "authority" doesn't change the fact that you still believe in Santa Claus.
She has no such authority
