You have great taste in music! Iron Maiden & Black Sabbath (only the original tho) are two of my most favourite metal bands. I even got to see Sabbath live TWICE when the original members had their reunion around 10 years ago.
From what I've seen of North African (well... Morocco anyway) and S. Asian cultures (Pakistan) I think you are better off being North African as I noticed that women in Morocco seem to have more autonomy than women in Pakistan. Plus, all the Arab/N. African women I have known will not take bullshit from men the way that many South Asian women do.
I'm jealous about you seeing Sabbath! Having almost never left my country, I haven't really attended any real metal concert ever... Well, not until last December, during a trip, and it wasn't even a very good band

I suppose North-African women are less submissive, though with my lack of perspective, I sometimes wonder. I've never been to Morocco, and I don't know any South-east Asian woman in person. In my country you find a mixture of both. Unfortunately my family is pretty conservative and most of the women there are god and husband-fearing, hijab-wearing muslimas... But elsewhere there women just like you described them. The Berber blood, I suspect
