well, there is this:

““No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.”
— U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 2, clause 2

so....?

Inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen?

Does that mean only males are allowed to be members of Congress? Based on the constitution as written?
