The article doesn't equate those "power poses" with masculinity, just testosterone (and it's the professor who claims this, not the author).

It's the use of the word "dignity" that upset me. Dignity is a dangerous word to use in an article full of gendered euphemisms.

I think you misread that statement. She's saying that by doing the power pose, she felt ridiculous (lost her dignity) but was able to convince the cleaners to get her blouse done faster.
