Excess

Does "excess" in the following context mean something like "anomaly"?

Context:
In the 1980s, feminist-inspired artists and writers adopted the figure of the hysteric as an image of female desire that might resist patriarchal frameworks, her convolutions symbolising a feminine pleasure that might exceed patriarchal strictures. Although the tendency to equate femininity and hysteria as an excess within patriarchy is problematic, these approaches, taken for example in the essay ‘The Laugh of the Medusa’ by playwright and essayist Hélène Cixous and, in a somewhat less celebratory way, in Luce Irigaray’s critique of psychoanalysis, Speculum of the Other Woman, nonetheless recuperated hysteria as a subversive resistance to phallocentric logic, as a position that pokes holes in the law (of the father). As a visual artist, Kelly cautions against the representation of this excess, as it presents the woman in purely bodily terms, a tendency which can be dangerous given the propensity of female bodies to be subjected to the voyeuristic phallocentric gaze, as well as the conflation of femininity with hyperbolic bodily display in media and advertising.
