That would be "crack" the drug, not "crack" the anatomical feature. Fellatio is widely considered a quick way for crack addicts to earn money to buy the drug; hence the term, "crack whore". Cunnilingus doesn't enjoy the same reputation, so the relevant gender difference is probably that men are (perceived to be) less discriminating in whom they allow near their genitals, and more willing to pay.
