No - there is nothing about gender involved.  SCA awards are not given to
'couples' but to individuals.  Sometimes the Crown feels that both members
of a couple should be recognized at the same time, and sometimes they do
not.  Often one member of a couple is recognized for something that the
other is not involved in at all.  Court Baron/Baroness is a courtesy title
that is given to *individuals* regardless of their marital status.  

BTW, a big congrad. to Dame Varia!  (and everyone else who received awards
last weekend!)   :-)
