I'll start with some stories from Brazil today. I like the tribal threads on here, so these are similar....

1. Brazil - Female journalist goes to the rainforest and meets the Korubu (seen it spelled differently) Indians. They check out her breasts and look down her pants to confirm she's a woman.

2. Brazil - Another female journalist in the rainforest with the Korubu. The first link is the story where they describe how they looked down her pants.

The second link is what I think is the video of the encounter. Check out around 13:35 when they look down her pants and she is embarrassed but lets them do it. I guess in that situation you have no choice.

Some additional similar stories.....

3. Angola - Himba woman in a hospital gives one of the nurses an impromptu "breast exam."

4. Namibia - This time some Himba women ask a photographer to show her breasts to prove she doesn't have any children.
