The reason its hard to wrap your head around it is that in some ways it does NOT make sense. A queen might have had a knight as her champion, but he served HER. She was his superior when it came to rank. In real life history, anyway. In terms of rank, a queen is above a knight. The Thoth method (in my opinion) would be like saying that if a woman were the USA president, one of the senators or admirals or something were above her. In certain circumstances they might act as leader, but in overall rank, she's the top.
