Actually, I believe you would have to invite EVERY woman in the world and if the men held the equivalent party, EVERY man would have to be invited. I doubt that there is an adult of either gender who hasn't been hurt at least once by a member of the opposite sex. In all honesty, I would have to say that, given the Taliban, burning of accused witches, Chinese foot mutilation, female genital mutilation and suttee in India, as well as a lot of other less publicized atrocities, men have treated women more despicably than vice-versa. Still, that might have been just because of more opportunities.
Although men have inflicted far more physical injury on women than vice-versa, I suspect this thread was meant to mean emotional injury. In that case, women have treated men worse than the reverse. Part of this is because of the opportunity; men have always, at least in the lifetimes of the people who are reading this, been expected to take the first steps in establishing relationships. This gives women the opportunity to shoot them down scornfully and to tell their cohorts how awkward and tongue-tied the poor sap was. This opportunity to reject has given the opportunity to inflict more emotional pain on men than men have inflicted on women.
