Wow, just... wow. Now that is sexist, old-fashioned nonsense. Basically, what you have just said is the woman's place is in the home. They should probably only speak when spoken to and make themselves look pretty so that they can be a nice trophy for their husbands as well. You do realise that women are the main bread winners nowadays, right?
As for the advert, I don't think it's sexist. It would be sexist if they stated that only women could apply. It seems more like targeted advertising to me. Women are more likely to have part-time jobs (presuming this role is part-time), and they are more likely to be doing cleaning roles, even if full-time. That's not to say that men don't work as cleaners, or that they aren't good at it, it's just that women are more common in the sector.
