quote from the article that you mentioned
Why aren’t women whirl? In the early years of the Mevlevi Order, men and women gathered to pray, share spiritual conversations, and whirl together. Later, the men started isolating the women to dance separately, forming their groups.
Things have changed, and today, only men can be whirling dervishes according to traditions. However, some places like Istanbul allow women to dance with men.
incorrect, women do it too ( usually once in a month, and in the first week ), but it's not for the public eye and can't film - just because you don't see something doesn't mean it isn't exist:)
I once went to see a woman whirling dance and with such beautiful clothes like WOW!
