Woman feel societal pressure to slim down every day of the week, and that pressure can become intensified on the journey to walking down the aisle. 

Losing weight for your wedding has become the norm, with bridal fitness classes and crash diets littering the internet. 

Thankfully, the body positivity community has made gorgeous plus size brides more visible, but the pressure remains. 

Leggings company You Statement have created some fat shaming gym clothes specifically geared towards brides to be. 

The pants carry slogans designed to shame women into focusing on losing weight in the run up to their big day. 

Statements like 'Training to be a trophy wife,' 'I wont quit unitl the dress fits,' and 'Gotta squat before I tie the knot,' are scrawled across the leggings.

Twitter users took to the social media site to express their indignation over the leggings. 

'Ive just seen these leggings and URGH. No. Just no. Please do NOT buy into the thought that you HAVE to lose weight for your wedding,' said one.

We also have this pair which reads 'Unlike other girls, I can make boys smile with my pants ON.' which simply reeks of slut shaming rhetoric.

Women in Ireland continue to fight for their reproductive rights, but the Irish government has been slow to act on their call to action.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is in Canada this weekend to visit with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and pro-choice women are calling on the leader to discuss the issue of Ireland's abortion ban while he's there. 

The hashtag #JustinformLeo is going viral this afternoon, as women take to Twitter to beseech the PM to tell the Taoiseach how they feel:

As race relations in America reach a tumultuous point, with white nationist rallies on the streets and the POTUS Donald Trump saying there are 'very fine' people among them, we could probably all use a little humour. 

Which is why we were delighted to spot this gem of a video as we were scrolling through Twitter.

Uploaded by user RiotWomenn, the video shows a white nationist march walking through a US town. 

In a twist, a tuba player is following the marchers, playing hilarious 'lumbering cartoon music' as they go. 

The video is definitely ridiculing the marchers, and the whole thing is comical. 

The tuba player has come forward online as Matt Buck, and we have to applaud him for making us laugh. 

The talented tuba player starts off playing the plodding cartoon music, but then switches to Ride of the Valkeries. 

We dare you not to lol.

Taylor Swift fans, look away now. 

The singer seems to have made a pretty drastic social media decision this morning, as all of her online accounts have been deleted. 

Taylor, who is one of the most followed celebrities in the world, quietly removed herself from social media platforms Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. 

It is unknown whether or not the singer plans to return after a social media sabbatical, or if she plans on staying gone for good. 

Fans are hoping that this wipe out means that Taylor is planning something big, like a new album.

It worked wonders for Ed Sheeran, after all. 

The official Taylor Swift website has also been blacked out, so it seems likely that Taylor is gearing up to surprise fans with something new. 

The social media sabbatical also comes on the three year anniversary of the release of Shake It Off, and anniversary of the announcement of her latest album 1989.

Whatever you're plotting Tay, we're ready.

As Barcelona mourns for the lives of those lost in the horrific terrorist attacks earlier this week, Spanish police have confirmed that the death toll could have been much higher.

13 people died in the attack on Las Ramblas, and up to 100 are injured after the man deliberately drove onto a pedestrian path.

However, the terrorists who were planning the attacks had their ultimate plan foiled, after the house they were storing explosives in blew up accidentally. 

It was originally believed that the house was a street drug lab, but it is now reported that a house in the Alcanar region was used to store home made explosives. 

After the building was toppled on Wednesday night and the explosives lost, it is reported that those orchestrating the attacks turned to using the vehicles as a weapons instead. 

'The explosion in Alcanar stopped larger attacks from happening because they no longer had some of the material they needed,' Catalan police chief Josep Lluis Trapero told Bloomberg.

 Police are still looking for the driver of the van and a nationwide man hunt is under way

Five other suspects were arrested under suspicion of involvement.

'There was a raid and we have now six suspects in custody, the main suspect and five others,' Det Supt Markus Laine of the national bureau of investigation told The Guardian. 

 'We will interrogate them, after that we can tell you more. But they had been in contact with the main suspect,'

'An innocent young man and a mother-of-six have been killed and we are appealing for the community to come forward.'

Two burnt out cars were found a short distance from the scene.

As the world comes to terms with the latest in a string of horrendous terrorist attacks on European soil, James Corden has acknowledged the feeling which many struggle with at a time when terrorist attacks are becoming frighteningly more commonplace.

James began the most recent episode of The Late Late Show with a heartfelt acknowledgement of the terrifying scenes which played out in Barcelona yesterday afternoon.

"When we hear about London or Paris or Stockholm and now Barcelona, you can almost start to become numb to it, like this is becoming something normal and we don’t need to talk about it here on our show," he said.

"But we think we mustn’t allow it to become something that’s normal. We must talk about it so we remember how sad, horrific, and tragic these moments are," James insisted.

"To the people of Barcelona, I just want to add to the rest of the world's outpouring of love and give our thoughts. We are thinking about the victims and their families right now on what must be an unimaginable day of horror for them," he continued.

James explained that his role is to bring light and levity to a "world where it is becoming often too hard to find."

Take a look at this.
