From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

U.S. outposts are under assault.

Hello again, I'm Armin Alney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International.

A daily look at the issues Americans care about most.

In the Middle East,

Africa, and Asia today protests against the innocence of Muslims' video turned violent after Friday

prayers. In Yemen, the American embassy was breached by an unarmed mob, reportedly allowed in by local

security forces. U.S. Marines have been sent to the scene. Do the attacks result from

the Arab Spring? Are U.S. facilities adequately protected against a new wave of anti-Americanism?

On the second half of our program, men's work is on the decline while industries dominated by women

are on the rise. Are women becoming dominant in the U.S. economy and in domestic life?

First, here's the news.

Support for To the Point comes from the members of KCRW and from the Public Radio International Program Fund.

Hello again, Mormon-A-Lony, back with To the Poet. A new book claims that the women's

movement has finally paid off. It's called The End of Men, subtitled The Rise of Women. On the

second half of today's program, is there a gender revolution in workplaces and even in American

homes? Is the Battle of the Sexes really a zero-sum game? First, angry protesters today attacked U.S. outposts from

the Middle East and Africa to Afghanistan and Pakistan, apparently inflamed by the crude insults

to their religion in the video, Innocence of Muslims. Margaret Coker is Middle East correspondent

for the Wall Street Journal. She joins us today from Benghazi, Libya. Thank you very much for being on our program.

You're welcome.

What can you tell us about what's happening, first of all, in Libya, then elsewhere in the Middle East?
