Sisterhood Of Chastisement

Something about this whipping illustration causes me to imagine that the young ladies are essentially equal in power: roommates, sorority sisters, perhaps sisters in truth. Some negotiated agreement or chance momentary imbalance gives one of them the opportunity to punish the other, and she is doing so with vim and vigor. But in my imagination there’s no great permanent gap in status between these two whip sisters, no fundamental difference in station. Tomorrow, the tables could easily be turned:

one pretty whip sister gives another an athletic whipping with a whalebone switch
