Kaling discussed everything from the challenges of single motherhood to the importance of buying a plunger in her 17-minute address to graduates. She also had a special message for the men in the audience: "When you go on dates, act as if every woman you're talking to is a reporter for an online publication that you are scared of. One shouldn't need the threat of public exposure and scorn to treat women well; but if that's what it's gonna take, fine. Date like everyone's watching, because we are."
