[Martin1976]

This custom (Clothed Male Naked Female) was very widespread in South America at the beginning of the 20th century. Also according to the stories of foreign travelers who visited indigenous tribes in South America. It was widespread mainly in North-west Amazon (northern Peru, southeastern Colombia, northwestern Brazil). But it was also very common in other parts of South America. For example, according to the book of the British traveler Thomas Whiffen, who visited several indigenous tribes in the northwestern Amazon region in 1908 and 1909 and published a book about his journey in 1915, all tribes throughout the region were all women and girls. completely naked and all the men and all the boys were clothed from the age of five. Most often in loincloths. This custom was therefore common to all the tribes in the vicinity. He wrote "Women Wear Nothing" about the tribes north of the Japurá River. and about the tribes south of the Japura river "All the tribes on the right or south bank of the Japura follow the Boro fashion; the men wear only trousers, the women go completely naked." He also left several photographs from his trip, several of which were also published in the book, and in all of them the women and girls are always completely naked and the men and boys are always clothed, in all the tribes he visited. I won't put the photos here because many would be against the forum rules, but the book is freely available on the Internet.
