Gander is also used like: What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Take a gander at that is used by country folk to have you look at something. Use it when I visit home.(Iowa)

Of course. What's good for the gander is good for the goose. (And a gander is simply a male goose, if that weren't obvious from contextual usage...)
