Rebounder pt II

We've established that Ophelia is a rebound girl.
She gets picked up as a pit stop, not a relationship.
The previous girl tends to blame Ophelia for stealing the man away.
Obvious projection of pain.
But there's another level that keeps occurring.
After the man has moved on to a new relationship, a real relationship, that previous girl, still blames Ophelia.

What has Ophelia done?
She hasn't acted as a matchmaker. She hasn't told the man to find stability. She provided comfort, distraction and release. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Ophelia is not responsible for the new relationship.

Where is the logic these rejected girls are using?
Ophelia's a professional scapegoat.
Why not blame the man?
Where is his scarlet letter?
