<p>PRAGUE -- For Petr Lebeda, Easter just isn't the same if he doesn't get to whip a few women.</p>
<p>The day after Easter, Mr. Lebeda and hordes of other men and boys across the Czech Republic will be chasing female relatives and friends with willow sticks. After a few thwacks across the legs, their victims may be doused in cheap perfume or dragged under a cold shower. Not even grandmothers are immune.</p>
