for the patriarch on a vespa part of it, this is what i think: well since at the beginning, shes encouraging women to escape the typical housewife persona as mentioned above, this could be like her now thinking of the concequences of always running away, how you will end up crashed and alone, pretty much dead inside, because always running away doesnt leave you a chance for happiness. so shes telling us women to be strong have our own opinions and dont travel back in time where women didnt have any rights; all they did was cook and clean for the man in the house.
