Saturday
Proverb:
Proverb: "What's good for the goose is good for the
gander."
Meaning:
What is good for a man is equally good for a woman; or, 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.”
History / Interesting Fact:
This proverb was cited and described as a woman's proverb in John Ray's English Proverbs (1678) and suggests
that if something is good or okay for the man in a relationship or marriage –
it is also good for the woman (goose being female and gander being male).
