Wow... glad you liked it!
I recall previous works made it clear stallions weren’t scarce, just less common than mares. They weren’t 90-10, 95-5 or 99-1 situations by any means, or there would have been a real crisis going on, and it would be pondered and debated over in narrative.
Here in Magnificent it is frequently worried about, and not only by genderbend victims, but literally every pony. Is it even possible to keep a stable population and not have loads of second and third generation incest? I sure hope incest isn’t harmful to ponies here like it is to human in reality. And this kind of extreme gender ratio has never benefited any creature in reality that didn’t live to be over a hundred. All observed beings that have or may live with a 90-10 or greater disparity are long lived, not things that live less than a human lifespan. You know the better part of insect populations are male drones that exist simply to keep their numbers up, and aren’t effected by incest.
Possibly TS wanted to create a crisis, as she killed international commerce on sight, left countless people hanging in precarious positions, and even more firmly grounded wherever they are without industry or a body they are familiar with. This only increases casualties in lives lost, and extra turmoil with such a great male scarcity that wasn’t in Bloom Filter and No Going Back. Only men turned to mares complained about it in one of them, all of whom were simply turning back into what they were born as anyway, and there were only a sparse number of maybe a dozen outsiders in the other, rightly more concerned about being stuck in another world in a strange body. Most of those ponies were a natural thing.
This world has all the dangers and long term shittiness of the PAP setting, only more immediate and more chances to adapt past the initial disaster. While PAP is a place where no one is ever safe in any time period from speeding vehicles coming out of nowhere, and people suddenly falling from the sky or something, the same danger is present here, but only on the first day everyone is the world became a horse. People who suddenly have no hands and fall off of a ladder, were doing surgeries, or driving cars at the time. The main difference is here, there’s no massive die off directly from the global event itself, and while industry has suffered tremendously, there’s no lack of people to bring it back. Although that may be tougher with many adults stuck in foal bodies to not take seriously, children in mature forms not appreciating the whole thing and being thought mad, and stallions likely being deemed objects and property by virtue of extreme scarcity thus not having the freedom to be alone like men and women currently have.
I’d surely hope this thing gets resolved and the curse reversed. Or the next generation and ones after that produce colts enough that they aren’t obligated to have a dozen mares in their future. And whatever happens, Twilight Sparkle hangs.

Y'know Meadowsweet isn't a very reliable narrator when it comes to paying attention to hard statistics, but I think the gender ratio has been roughly mentioned a few times. As for whether Twilight Sparkle is going to hang, you'll have to catch her, first!
