I know you asked for a feminine point of view, but here's my take, unfortunately, we all need to exercise the same fundamentals.
When you stand, you should be able to let go of the bars and stay in the same body position.  Don't rest on your arms.  When you ride, concentrate a little harder on this when you are on straights (and any time that you get a chance to pay attention), and it will get easier.  And always stand with a little bend in the knees.
You should grip with your knees, adding a little grip tape to the shrouds/tank area might make this a little easier.
On big jumps with rough landings, you will find that the suspension doesn't always soak up all of the impact, standing will let your legs absorb some of that hit, you are less likely to hurt your back that way.
I used to have the same landing/throttle problem.  Most likely when you land, especially under power, you are shifting your body to the back of the bike and pulling the throttle harder.  Make sure you have a good grip with your legs when you land, clench your abs to hold your torso forward, and relax you hands a little.
