Nah ,not uncomfortable. Maybe you need to know the difference between submission and obedience. Additionally, you failed to include verse 21 which says "Submit to one another". Be blessed.
Ephesians 5:21
"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ."

Hmm, I believe you have just revealed what you struggle with. For your information, submission and obedience are interchangeable.
It seems to me that you might struggle with this issue of someone telling you to be obedient or to submit to men being that you are female.
That is being said in a Christ-loving Biblical context. If you cannot accept submitting and being obedient to your husband, then you can't be submissive and obedient to Jesus Christ. That is the whole point and exercise of why God created the roles. It is not to oppress females as
we are being brainwashed to believe (hence the rise of feminism). It is to prepare us (all of us both men and women) to be ready for our bride groom who is Jesus!
If you read the verses I gave you, it's all there. Christ gave his life for the church. That's why the man's role is to give his life for his wife.
Don't take it personally. It is biblical. For me and for you. I actually found it very beautiful, one of the most beautiful lessons taught in the Bible! (but most women, even christian women don't like the notion of anyone telling them they should be obedient....which is why marriages are happening less and families even less because women see it as a form of submission/obedience by playing that traditional role).
The highest virtue for a woman is obedience. (see the story of Rebekah as just one example).
The highest virtue for a man is sacrifice/giving his life for his wife (Adam "slept"/died so that Eve could be made, Jesus gave his life for his bride).
The Bible says, the word of God is foolishness to those who are perishing but to those being saved, it is the power of God (1 Cor. 1:18).
