"That was the key. Semirhage could not be defeated by pain or by persuasion—but destroying her image, that would be more terrible in her mind than any other punishment. Just as it would have been for Cadsuane."
Perhaps not in front of the world, then, but just... Romanda and Lelaine?
My point is, there's gonna be spanking somewhere.

She's already been humiliated in public and defeated the humiliation. She is not Semirhage and she is not Cadsuane. She did far more humiliating things than receiving a spanking under the tutelage of the Wise Ones or under the foot of Elaida.
She'd see it as weakness on Cadsuane's part, that she would be unable to conduct negotiations and discussion without resorting to violence. And it's not something you do to an ally and expect them to remain allied to you. If anything, it'd make Egwene MORE stubbornly against them.
