Mindy Kaling expresses her thoughts on the debate of whether women are funny, emphasizing that she doesn't want to engage with it as it doesn't warrant serious discussion. She compares the topic to absurd hypothetical questions, illustrating that she sees the debate as equally nonsensical. By choosing not to comment, Kaling aims to reject the legitimacy of the argument itself.

In her book, "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?", Kaling's approach suggests that certain topics, particularly those rooted in stereotypes or outdated notions, shouldn't take up valuable discourse. Instead of enabling such debates, she chooses to focus on more meaningful and constructive conversations about humor and creativity.
