Women's boxing question

In my 26 or so years since I saw Christy Martin-Deirdre Gogarty and became as much of a fan of the women's game as of the men's, I have only for the first time today seen a woman admonished for punching low, so I have a question...

Is it ok for women to punch below the belt or not? I had assumed it would not be such a problem as it is for the dudes, and that instead women are not allowed to punch around the boobs....

So what's the rules for women regarding that???

I guess we'd have to ask a woman.. If they've ever been hit low, or lower stomach area.. Without a woman's opinion, we will not know..

In regards to the question asked.. Rulebook wise. Who knows.

All other rules are same as for men.
