I think there's probably some internalised self-hatey sexism going on somewhere when people who are devoted to the ship and yet are so hard on the woman.
I've been in more than a few OTP fandoms. Anything which threatens the ship (esp another woman) is seen as a threat, and usually attacked through fanfic, so it's not just about pining for the guy. The right woman is important. Yet the onus for making the ship happen is often heaped on the female character, who's a coward or a tease until she accepts his pure and deserving love.
I reckon it's got very little to do with girls 'competing and backstabbing' and a lot to do with fic writers reproducing the sexist tropes which permeate much romance fiction.
Also, pure anecdata but in my years in a mostly female family, all-girl schooling, and a woman-dominated academic career I've only come across a handful of competing, back-stabby girls. I've heard rumour of them alot, but they're obviously all avoiding me for some reason. No doubt they've just been delayed and some day I'll be ambushed by an army of long-nailed catfighters. Like buses.

I've never run into them IRL either, but I've found it's a lot of who you hang out with - I certainly knew who that group was in middle school, and heard about my share of drama in high school, but I wasn't near it or planning to go near it and thank goodness. It's for sure a lot easier to avoid than people think, but I do see it in fandom - or at least hear about it, F_W and fanfiction.net make it so easy.
