She gave Weiss a decision:

a) Call father back, beg for his money, and once again explain to him why she wants to be at Beacon instead of Atlas.

b) Don't call him back. Instead, continue exploring the world and learning about herself.

The way that Winter presented Option B seems like that was what she wanted Weiss to choose. She wants Weiss to learn about herself. I don't know, her statement before that seemed more like she was trying to get him to call back. She is offering up a false dichotomy there, suggesting Weiss can either cave completely or isolate herself from her father, yet it is as if her first instinct was to get her to do what their father wanted. Perhaps there is a bit of reverse pschology going on with her suggestion or she really is manipulating Weiss for her own benefit. It could very well be both. Winter may both be trying to help her sister and get back at her father. Reality is complicated that way. Also, now that I think about it, Winter actually is offering a false dichotomy, and its kind of ironic and sad. Winter, who is trying to encourage Weiss to escape their tyrannical father, is subtly controlling Weiss to do what she wants, implying that she hasn't escaped from her father's shadow yet. Could be a very interesting plot point later on. I didn't articulate that it was a false dichotomy until you had mentioned it, insiduous.
