Sample script: The goalkeeper
- 1At recess, a group of boys plays soccer. A girl asks to join.
- 2“No, girls can't play,” one of them replies.
- 3The team has no goalkeeper. Nobody wants to do it.
- 4The girl steps into the goal with her arms crossed.
- 5She saves an impossible shot. WHAM! Everyone's jaw drops.
- 6The next day, the team picks her first.
Tips
- Show the stereotype with a short line of dialogue; no need to exaggerate it.
- Don't make the character who discriminates a villain: a change of mind is more interesting.
- Everyday situations (school, home, sports) are understood instantly.

It is a comic showing that men and women have the same rights and opportunities, usually through a situation where a stereotype is broken.
Sports at recess, toys, jobs, sharing chores at home, clothes or colors associated with boys or girls.
With a panel that shows the change: the group welcoming the girl to the team, the family sharing chores, the boy proudly cooking.
