I will grant you illicit.  Whether they are valid or not depends on the ordination of the one who ordained him.  If his orders are valid, so is the ordination he confers.  All the sophistry about women not being valid vessels for ordination is simply bigotry dressed up as circular reasoning. Also, in real presence faiths where women are ordained and offer Eucharist, the Eucharist is valid.  You can't fake the presence of Christ.  Schismatic sects still offer valid Eucharist, the proof being that a schismatic sect of Orthodoxy, the Roman Patriarchy, still has valid orders and Communion.
