It's backwards: gander is the MALE!

:-)) Interesting. I've never heard of Canada gander.

It's possible, though. I'll try it on a Canadian to see.

有意思

= What is good for a man is equally good for a woman

 = what a man can have or do, so can a woman have or do.

 

This comes from an earlier proverb, “What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.”     goose here is a female goose (好像是个病句

这个成语到底强调的是男女一样,还是强调一个人与另外一个人(无性别之分)???

If he can go out with his friends at night, then she should be able to, too. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

这个例子就是强调男女一样

Literally, what is good for a female goose is equally good f

Literally, what is good for a female goose is equally good for a male goose (gander); or, what is good for a woman should be equally as good for a man.

If something is good for one person, it should be equally as good for another person.

本意是男女一样,但可以延申

Make sense.

The way I understand it: gender or another trait

figures large but can be ignored sometimes, and it is these cases where the proverb applies.

Exceptions are plenty and it's fun to joke about them :-)

Goose is generic but when necessary refers to the female.
