Yes it is. You should really look into the actual data on false rape statistics, it's interesting stuff. The vast majority of false rape accusations, no man is named as the rapist - IE, the motivation for the woman is sympathy not "destroying a man's reputation", and there's no evidence that she was raped(although still possible she was, by an unknown male). But those claims will still be used as evidence by MRAs of false rape epidemics. There are literally a handful of cases each year of a woman actually naming a man and that there is also enough evidence to say that either she was not raped, or not raped by him. As another commentator said, far more likely a man will be raped by another man - or hell, be struck by lightening.

As I understand it, it's 2% of rapes that are even reported, which means the the percentage of false allegations to actual rapes are even lower.
