This stood out to me, 406 up votes for a joke about domestic violence against women, 53 up votes for a response about domestic violence against men. They were both posted at almost the same time too. Double standards anybody?

It's not really a double standard. Jokes like these work because of the initial "shock" once you've gotten over the surprise of the first one the impact of the second isn't going to be as strong. Also; who gives a shit about jokes? Other than obviously feminists.

Haha no doubt, I'm not offended by the joke per say.

Just surprising to find stuff like that everywhere, even in r/sports.

If 1 person up votes 1 first, it is higher. Many people don't read everything, hell, I rarely do. A few more may only read the first then move in if it's a good joke. It's like if a post gets a few down votes it rarely gets back above 0 because people just hop on the bandwagon and down vote.

Plus, against women are jokes people usually hear, that might make them more familiar with it and more inclined to up vote

Too many loose ends on this one

You guys are right, I was doing something that I actually really can't stand.

Trying to make something out of nothing.

It was the first thing I read when I woke up in the am so I think it just caught me off guard.

Carry on.
