derszoger- you are echoing what I wrote.I have not seen the teshuva of the Tzitz Eliezer but I know that this question arose in the early years when it came to the question of women voting and taking certain positions in the political community. The Sefardi Chief rabbi, Rav ben Zion Uziel zt’l, allowed women to vote and occupy communal positions because, in a democratic society, no one has absolute power anymore- in contrast to the kings of yore, who were absolute rulers. The position of women is similar to that of Gerim, as it is derived from the same possuk.
