Nope. At least not according to my textbook/professor. We're on the "special senses" chapter now, it's a college course and text so I'd say it's legitimate.

In case you're curious, it says that we all have about 10,000 taste buds. The bumps that you can see on your tongue are called "papillae" and each one can contain 600 taste buds. But it says nothing about varying between genders in the entire section. (The text is by Tortora.)

This is why male and female roe have different taste and consistency. If male crabs did not have roe, crabs would not be able to reproduce, and they would die out.
