It's an interesting comparison because it seems to me dueling comes from times and places where personal reputation was much more important to life destiny than now due to a lack of protective legal and other institutional infrastructure that dampens the risks in living and working with strangers.

So maybe any rising sensitivity in the present is due to the feeling that this infrastructure is weakened.
