Depends entirely on how she says it. There are some versions of Cindy who would indeed stated it as 'well gee, if only you hadn't been foolish (note use of the word foolish) and used common sense (note wording used by members of this thread) you wouldn't have been raped'.
The fact it depends on 'how she says it' shows that you are making the appeal to emotion fallacy. Your 'argument' is emotional... not a real argument.

Wrong.
In scenario A - She is blaming herself. Wrongheaded (because the only person who is to blame and who holds any responsibility is the rapist), but understandable, it's part of the grieving process at times, and thus no, I could not be angry at her, she is angry enough at herself and needs to work through it and understand she is not to blame at all in her own time.
In scenario B - She is blaming me, which is stupid and cruel of her.
