Ahh the Phyllis Zango deception on the Armenian and Greek issue. She twists what they theologically do. Zango plays fast and loose with facts and her open letter contains many assumptions and errors (
link). As do her atrocious articles and book.
I will not speak for my Orthodox brothers and sisters and you should not either. You are free to ask them if they have women with the Sacrament of Holy orders in their Church. Not as a small s sacramental but having capital S Sacramental Character of Holy Orders. I already know the answer. But if you want to know what they think of Zango's assertions that the Sacrament of Holy Orders can be given to a woman...see how that goes. Understand of course that East and West use terms like Sacramental, sacramental...different at times. The same as with Order, Holy Orders...order..mystery, Holy Mysteries...And part of why Zango and other are able to manipulate the truth is their reliance on the West to be mostly ignorant of these differences.
You are simply misunderstanding the issues of what makes (speaking in a Western sense) a Sacramental (capital S) Ordination as opposed to a sacramental (small s) elevation or blessing.
Do you understand the nature of the invocation of the Holy Spirit in a Sacramental way? You say the author does not do it very well. It is actually very theologically well spoken. You simply do not want to see it.
An Abbess is made by the imposition of hands and in some ancient texts is given a miter...but she is not given Holy Orders and is not a Bishop. There are also a myriad of blessings and elevations with mention of the Holy Spirit and the imposition of hands. So that is not an issue. Some think it is but the issue is the invocation of the Holy Spirit in a Sacramental way not as a blessing.
So there are blessings and elevations that have imposition of hands and calling on the Holy Spirit. But what is needed is an invocation of the Holy Spirit that rises to the level required for the Sacrament.
The same Apostolic Constitutions that contain the blessing explicitly state:
"A deaconess does not bless, nor perform anything belonging to the office of presbyters or deacons, but only is to keep the doors, and to minister to the in the of women, on account of decency."
So obviously if you are arguing that the ordination has the character of a Sacrament...the same Apostolic Constitutions that contain the rite..contain the description that limits what can be done and shows that have nothing belonging to the office of priests or deacons.
So why would the Apostolic Constitutions say that a Deaconess:
"
nor perform anything belonging to the office of presbyters or deacons"
That and the difference in the actual Sacramental invocation of the Holy Spirit make the ancient practice clear and shows the manipulation of the texts by agenda driven sites.
