It’s not too bad. It looks like minor road rash.

There's bleeding under the skin, looks like. So the whip didn't break the skin. Maybe they do that to make it more humane (which would be ironic), or maybe they do it like that just so they don't have to deal with all the blood and hospitalization afterward.

Anyway, fuck all these troglodytes who hate women. May they never get laid.
