It annoys me too. It also annoys me that the "alpha bitch" trope character is ALWAYS a girly girl, and the main protagonist/rival (if they're a girl.) is ALWAYS a huge tomboy.
It just screams, "femininity makes you shallow and evil!!" and ugh it rubs me the wrong way.
I'd love to see it where the roles were actually reversed.

Why can't the bitch be the one who drinks tea and reads books and is "not like other girls"

Femmephobia is why: http://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/femmephobia-girls-are-gross-writ-large/

Someday I'm going to write a fanfic based on "You Belong With Me" where the tomboyish narrator is actually a bullying yandere and the feminine girlfriend is actually super sweet, just for that reason.

The narrator as a bullying yandere is practically canon for the song already.

Normally that kind of thing bothers me, too, but ... that's kinda how it was at my school. Fiction exaggerates it, of course, and it'd be nice to see something other than the same stereotype, but still.

I think actually the reason it happens is because, in reality, super-feminine girls are more likely to be popular. Shallow, but true.

There are also very overtly feminine girls who aren't popular, at least ime (it helps that I went to a large school). But if you weren't very overtly feminine and you were female, good luck trying to climb that social ladder.

The same thing is true for the guys - if you've not super masculine, you're unlikely to be popular.

Yeah, I think that's it. Kids who didn't fit the ideal mold had a much harder time. It's a stereotype that exists for a reason.
