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.
Treat one case the same as the other.
It's possible, though. I'll try it on a Canadian to see.
You have an amazing thought process :-)
= 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
)
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

本意是男女一样,但可以延申
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 :-)
