This is a prime example of why patriarchy is hurting men too, because what this guy is saying boils down to:

We can make them work at any hour of the day because who cares if these guys have any life outside work?

We don't have to do any work management, we just call those guys

We can send them wherever, whenever

We can create a toxic work environment and it's okay to treat guys like shit

And those guys don't even complain because they need this job so bad
Isn't it great?

The statement about "workplace laws" is so telling: Yeah, who cares about treating men with respect and dignity!?
It's not just about discriminating against women, it's also about mistreating men. That's what patriarchy is at its core: Pit men and women against each other and then reap the benefits. It's a "divide and conquer strategy".

Exactly my impression. And my response? Fuck that shit.

Also practices like that reinforce the gendered division of labour. As men get jobs, women are usually left to pick up the slack of care responsibilities. This leaves them financially dependent on those men. So both men and women suffer, but the system leaves women with less agency than men.

(Also nonbinary, queer, and third gender people are treated even worse)
