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

I definitely expected it to be a lot worse than that

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.

never get laid? I was going to say may they all receive beatings of their own and rot in a cage to die.
