I don't see why that follows.

But if it were true it would suggest that there are some important questions going unaddressed the way things are right now.

It was kind of joke, but why would congressman’s sex affect his decisions if he is professional? What are these important questions which are so affected by Y-chromosome?

I don't know why you're being voted down -- perhaps people think you're trolling.

Assuming you're naive, here's an example from today's paper: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/31/opinion/childbirth-injury...

More generally: why have more than one representative at all? Because every person has a slightly different perspective based on where they're from. The wider the variety of opinions (at least to the degree they reflect the diversity of opinions -- urban/agricultural/wilderness; male, female; different levels of education and background; etc) -- the more useful the result.
