Kind of like being well-dressed when traveling by air. Now, it's the lowest common denominator... sweats and a hoodie.
I would wager a buy-in most people wouldn't even know what "modicum" and "decorum" mean, let alone know how to us them.
The degradation of society?
The art of conversation is dying, if not dead. Thank you Apple et al.
As for women playing poker . . . what are we looking at, every 1 out of 10,000 women would possibly play? I don't like my odds . . .
I think it's just how males and females are "wired?" Perhaps?
