It's no secret that science has contributed a lot to the world. But one of the failings of the science community has been its slow progress in the area of women's rights. This can been seen in its growing sexual assault problem and its history of allegedly sexist biographies about female scientists, which one Twitter user decided to call out.

To highlight sexism in science, Twitter user @Daurmith wrote prominent male scientist biographies in the same way that bios of female scientists are often written, which highlight their marital status and appearance, BuzzFeed reported.

The physician is best known for his collections of neurological case histories, including "The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat," "Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain," and "An Anthropologist on Mars."

@Daurmith, who told BuzzFeed that they wanted to remain anonymous, said they were inspired to tweet these histories after they saw a piece about "British poet Sarah Howes winning the T.S. Eliot Prize, which focused more on her looks than poetry."

“I got to thinking about that and about all the other times I’ve seen articles written about notable women in which their looks/makeup secrets/wardrobe advice were discussed, sometimes instead of — not besides — her work," @Daurmith continued.

The tweets were originally posted in Spanish. However, it wasn't until the tweets were later translated to English that @Daurmith began to get a response.

“I find it charming that, when I translated the tweets to English, many people thought they were lovely and wished men were described more often like that," @Daurmith told BuzzFeed. "This didn’t happen with the original tweets in Spanish and gave me food for thought. I could have been nastier writing the tweets; I’m very glad I wasn’t. It gave me a different perspective.”
