Surely what you mean is "Sauce for the goose is NOT sauce for the

Unsure this is helpful. At one level it's the same
idea as "pot meet
kettle", but such essays have the potential to be used as modes of attack
(eg, ignoring valid points in the argument, in favor of an argument over
hypocrisy).
Take a look at [[WP:KETTLE]] for an essay which makes the same point, but
in a way that nudges both sides to de-escalate and tells both "this is
lame". Its an aspect worth considering. Sauce for the goose is going to
imply much more, "they do it so I can too", which isn't a good thing to
suggest.

WP:SAUCE or
Wikipedia:Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
But is it a *reliable* sauce?
