Yeah, I'm old enough to remember all of that and the feeling of impotent fury it engendered. But you know, I'm fully stocked on things to be furious about in the here & now, so I won't read the story and amplify my anxiety by reliving the olden days. Living through it the first time was sufficient.

A male duck is actually a drake; a gander is a male goose. The gender specificity does not bother me.
I assumed that it was a double-entendre, referencing geese (because the Canada goose is iconic) as well as the term that means to take a look at something, as in, "I'll just have a gander at that."

Not only was I not *forced* to ask this, it did not even occur to me to ask it—unlike the all-day, every-day parade of WTFs I've been unable to stifle since DT started spouting his daily inanities again. GTFO with your disingenuously bad take.
