It looks like your fenders are pretty long so they should mostly protect anyone behind you. The little flap is sort of a buddy flap, but they really need to be longer than any of the fender manufactures put on since the fenders are made more to protect you than other folks. If it doesn't hang down past at least the axel on your wheel you'll still spray the person behind you pretty bad.

Its only really a problem if you are riding pretty tight with other folks - but I know there are other women here that ride with groups and probably ride in the winter. I got enough faces full of mud last winter that I've appointed myself the buddy flap master. Last year I made flaps and handed them out - this year I think I'll take duct tape and maybe zip ties and make people put them on...... otherwise to the back with you!
