The saying is actually "Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander" and means that the treatment meted out to one party should be meted out in an identical fashion to all others, regardless of gender or other petty differences. ie if your husband stays out all night drinking, "sauce for the goose" indicates that you can too.
