This saying comes from cooking - you don't make sauce for the male goose and sauce for the female - you make one sauce. As an idiomatic expression, it means that whatever one person can do, another person can do also - people should not expect special treatment.

You will hear this especially if someone feels they are being treated unfairly.

This idiom means that the sexes should be treated in the same way and not be subjected to different standards.

Example: After Bob had been on his fishing trip for two days, Sally went to the beach; what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

It means that we shouldn't have double standards. What is good for the goose is good for the gander (= male goose).
