Garbage. You've derailed the argument to one about sexuality. This is about professional advancement, not courtship.
The author is comparing men's success in impressing an authority figure of an unknown gender against a woman's success in the same. Yet, you've at once implied that the authority figure is necessarily male, and that any male/female relationship is inherently framed by sexuality.
Not only do I think that's bullshit, it doesn't relate to the author's original argument.

The inferred conclusion of what tfh wrote:
As a result, men have evolved/learned to self-aggrandize in social situations (including professional ones), while women have not.
I think you're right, I overreacted. Thanks for the sanity check.
