I suppose girls making fun of each other for still being virgins is that ruthless competition aspect, as per the short hair article. I can see some minor dilemma that goes along the lines of, "How do you know you're desirable if men haven't had you?" but I imagine it only works on the naïve and uneducated.

It works on more than just the naïve and uneducated. Don't underestimate the allure of belonging to a group. Many women/ girls will go along with behaving in a way that is destructive because the threat of social exclusion is terrifying. (There's safety in numbers after all.)
There’s never any physical danger to any of the girls. A guy is always assumed to play the part of the hero or the sacrificial goat or both. Girls are only harmed by each other. And by their choice of men, diets and poisons.
I hear ya -
As a young Christian guy I was taunted for not frivolously throwing away my resources. I was a "financial prude" for not gambling in the casino, and a coward for not driving my car into a tree on a dare. "Well, how do you know those airbags are gonna work if you don't try? You need to see if you're accident-compatible." Rolling my Buick was my "favorite mistake".
Good observation especially about the naive. Because what’s the one of first things, if not the first, a woman calls another woman she hates? It surely isn’t “She is a virgin!”
