actualy, Ares trashtalking Clarisse was just his own questionably brand of peppy talk. In ancient greece women that suffered abused prayed to him, that is why he was considered the father of the amazons. He selected Clarisse for the quest, he gave her a ship and he played the part of a jackass so she would be super angry and try her best to prove him wrong. Didn't he bless her in the New York final battle as well?
Sometimes it is more what you do than what you say.

yeah he does care about her but its not like his brand of parenting did not do a number on her. I remember it was shown in a short story that Clarisse genuinely fears her father
