I think this narrative comes from the idea that respect should be earned by leadership. Or in other words, you can command respect, but not demand it.
To demand respect is to tell others, “You will respect me!” or otherwise threaten or punish those who do not act according to your wishes. To command respect is to have others observe and admire your actions of their own volition.
Creative Direction is a skill not just a title. I had to learn the skill and prove I was capable, not just expect to be given the title.
As human beings, of course we all deserve a basic level of respect and should never accept mistreatment or abuse of any kind. That’s not industry-specific.

I think the last two sentences really brought me a lot of clarity. You need to earn your title & not feel entitled to it to earn the respect where people admire you.
And you’re saying no one should be disrespected in the form of abuse
I’m in alignment
No, it doesn't. It means you shouldn't grovel to leadership unless they've proved they're worth it. It's got nothing to do with accepting abuse IMO.
