Just in terms of the medical bills involved, and given Sweden's healthcare system, one might could argue that it costs more to provide emergency medical services to the female victims of rape and domestic battery than it does to provide kleenex to the male victims of emotional battery. Therapy's expensive, but ER services along the lines of setting broken bones, dealing with internal bleeding, facial reconstructive surgery, etc. might be more expensive, and that doesn't even take into account the time and "manhours" spent by the police dealing with domestic violence, and the way it ties up the legal system too.
