Poison has historically been associated as the tool of women, even the Pope noted this in 1659 after being told of all the wives confessing to poisoning their husbands. While it has been used by men, it's frowned upon in the warrior and assassin's castes. The poisoners handbook (now banned in the USA) calls it the weapon of the weak. John Fletcher wrote that poison was the cowards weapon in his text on the subject in 1602.
