As for who hurts worse when, I'd suggest it depends more on who made the decision to break up rather than their respective genders. The one who breaks it off is more likely to feel initial relief followed by delayed grief reaction to the loss. The other party feels dumped and reacts to a sudden traumatic shock, so much of their worst pain happens immediately after the break.
That's been true for me at least, and I'll dare to extrapolate from that.
