Vision Forum was criticized for holding views that were demeaning of women and viewed them as property. Don and Joy Veinot ofMidwest Christian Outreach interpreted Vision Forum's statement on "The Tenets of Biblical Patriarchy"^[10] to imply that "women really cannot be trusted as decision makers" and "unless a daughter marries, she functionally remains pretty much theproperty of the father until he dies."^[11]

Similar criticisms were voiced when a lawsuit was filed against Doug Phillips and Vision Forum by a woman who had worked as the Phillips family's nanny. Her suit alleged that Phillips had sexually abused her for years.^[12] Phillips acknowledged an "inappropriate relationship" but denied all charges of sexual abuse, calling them "sensationalist and suggesting that they are motivated by a desire for financial gain."^[1]
