It is a feminist take and an extremely modern one. I never heard the words "owe" or "entitled" used in this context until my mid to late 20s in the mid-2010s. Nobody said the meme line in the 2000s. If someone turned you down or broke up with you in 2007, nobody would suggest that you sue the person or anything obviously, so there was a subtle implicit understanding that you indeed weren't "entitled" to a relationship in the same way you're legally entitled to certain things. But this "You don't have the right to feel upset or angry at the person, and I won't feel angry for you on your behalf" seems to be more of a post-Elliot Rodgers thing. Back in the 00s if a friend was turned down or broken up with, you had the right to begrudge the person who hurt them. So long as you didn't do anything criminal, you were allowed to be mad and those who cared about you were allowed to be mad with you. Not anymore. Thought crimes are much more en vogue.
Honestly, the reaction to this chapter - the "What a bitch" "She led him on" "I hate Chizuru" even from places like reddit - is pretty refreshing. It's like the 2000s and early 2010s again, before this blowhard emotional invalidation became the norm.
This obsession with the O and E words might be less extreme in more conservative countries. In anime, characters still get mad at other characters for turning down a confession. In Western media, not even the character broken up with is allowed to feel bitter for even a single second because that would be like so problematic and entitled omg.
